Gavin Schmidt, based at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), is a founding editor of the blog RealClimate.org which aims to provide context and background on climate science issues often missing in popular media coverage. In 2011 he was awarded the AGU Climate Communication Prize. Gavin is co-chair of the PAGES-CLIVAR Intersection Panel.

His main research interest lies in understanding the variability of the climate, both its internal variability and the response to external forcing. At GISS, he is helping to develop the GISS ocean and coupled GCMs to improve the representation of the present day climate while investigating their response to external forcing. He holds a PhD from the University College London.
